Hi Jim, Mike, at al:
Other examples which immediately come to mind include the U.S. Mint's medal
commemorating the first steam coinage, with the date first listed as FEB. 22,
and the Washington Before Boston medal struck at the Paris Mint with the error
date MCCLXXVI (1276). The First Steam Coinage medal was to be struck on
Washington's birthday, but the actual event was delayed until March 23rd due to
mechanical problems. There are examples of the medal with the original FEB. 22
date and the subsequent MAR. 23 date punched over the original date.
As for the error date Washington Before Boston, there had been speculation
originally that the error reverse was an early die trial. However, examples
using this reverse have the obverse die with more advanced die rust than
specimens with the correct date and original reverse (Boston Public Library specimen
in gold and others in silver and bronze). It is now believed that the error
date reverse was prepared as a replacement for the original reverse die which
probably failed in the 1790's, and the date was subsequently corrected to
MDCCLXXVI. This die was used until the 1820's (the first Paris restrike)., when it
failed and was replaced by a third reverse (the second Paris restrike).
Best regards,
Dave M.
